Hi Jake,
What has worked for me is to wear a light weight, light colored, short length sock when hiking in warm weather and start switching to a heavier, longer length darker/black sock in the areas I know will be cooler. Finally, when hiking in snow, I switch again to a dark,  wool, calf length heavy sock.
As a former marathon runner, I know first hand, even the color of your sock makes a difference and worth the price to get it right. Black socks in the desert is not a good first choice to wear, when it's hot for an example.

I am also finding that about the 250 mile mark is when I usually throw my old socks in the rag pile, to be replaced with a new pair. I could get more miles out of them but, I find, I begin to have more foot problems I don't need, because they are wearing thin.

Hello all!  Due to the high number of people that recommended Injinji toe socks 
on here I gave them a go, and I must say they were awesome!  I'm going to switch 
to them for sure!  Two questions tho, I tried the short ones that just cover my 
foot and don't go too far up the ankle.  Should I stick with those or buy the 
ones that go up the calf? Secondly,  how many miles can I expect out of a pair? 
Til now I was using plain cheap men's polyester dress socks but was chewing thru 
those in 20-30 miles!!  I hope the Injinji are more durable!
Thanks!
Jake
